In dreams, I am free

To be whatever I want

When awake, I'm not.

While working on some content, I had a little burst of creativity outside the subject I was writing about.

This is not necessarily how life really is, but it is how a lot of us see reality compared to dreams. It is not unreasonable to try to make your dreams a reality, or impossible (well, the feasible dreams aside.)

Thanks for reading. If you enjoy this, please subscribe. I am currently working on a goal of a post a day (at least) during January (with the view to extending that).

As this is a short read, you may want to check out some of my other poetry like this one inspired by a dream:

or another Haiku
